Though the Southerners failed to wangle any commitments, five Northern Democrats known as champions of both civil rights and public power did vote against the plan to bring the civil rights bill directly to the floor, bypassing the Judiciary Committee.*Southerners were grateful for the help-and sore at the Republicans for outmaneuvering them. So five Southern Democrats who voted against the Hells Canyon bill a year ago (Mississippi's Eastland, North Carolina's Ervin, Louisiana's Long, Georgia's Russell, Florida's Smathers) turned around and voted for it.

One lost battle of the campaign: the council appealed...
